to the San Gorgonia caiion. They re-
port fine sport, and in the six days
killed five deer and large quantity

occasions had to drive them away
from their camp, that they might
slumber in peace. They return home
much improved in health and better
able to cope with the law relating to
the treatment of dried venison and

News Notes.

The United States District Court
will meet to-day for the transaction OF
business.
The alarm from box No. SO yester-
day afternoon about four O'Clock, was
for the burning of a tar kettle on Re
quena street. No damage.
The work of grading Main street for
the pavement is progressing quite rap
idly between Third and Fourth streets
and in other portions of the street gas
and water connections are being made
80 as TO cause no tearing up after the
pavement is down.
A meeting of our German singers
and citizens is to be held at room -,
Lichtenberger Block, on Friday eve
ming at s p. NJ, to devise means for a
proper representation OF Los Angeles
ut the National Singing Festival, to
be held at st. Louis in June, 1888.
1t seems to be settled thing that
ut least two railways will pass through
La Cahada, Crescenta Canada, Monte
Vista and Tujunga to San Fernando.
There is no finer location for health
and beauty on the American continent
than the region mentioned, and the
railways will make it the loveliest for
residence in the world.
Progressive Pasadena is moving in
the matter of erecting a large and
beautiful city hall on the corner of
Raymond avenue and Glendale street.
1t will probably be built before the
city hall in Los Angeles. A better
situation for city hall in Pasadena
would be on the beautiful crown of
land on the line of the California Cen
trail east of the Raymond Hotel.
The people of San Jacinto, one of
the most thrifty settlements in Cali
fornia, have generally concluded to
build a railway to Cotton, instead of
stopping at Perris. By this plan they
will come in connection with the
whole scheme Of South California
railways of the California Central and
the Southern Pacific. The idea is a
good one.
There has been a slight ripple in
social circles in Azusa. Captain
Vaughn, Zanjero of the Water Com
missioners, was ordered to turn the
water of the San Gabriel ditch into
the cement ditch, and proceeded so to
do by orders of two of the three Com
missioners, when he was met by Will
liam Parker with a persuading re-
yolyer and ordered to desist. Parker
claims that he had orders from the
third Commissioner to prevent Vaughn
from changing the course of the water.
So it seems that one Commissioner
and a revolver are more powerful than
two Commissioners with no revolver
Parker is fearless man, and old resi-
dents remember that he furnished the
first corpse for the graveyard at Azusa.
The Riverside Press states that "R.
p. Waite, well-known in that city, was
the most injured of any in the railway
accident last Sunday, and was carried
to the Pullman sleeping car" 1t was
Mr.. Baldwin of Pasadena who was
carried to the car. All the other
wounded persons walked from the
wreck. While Mr.. Waite is unable to
attend to business, and is somewhat
weak from loss of blood, and feverish
to some extent, he is not considered in
n<<iangerous condition. The heavy
stove in the car that rolled over, broke
loose from its useless moorings and
